but would 3 frogs be able to share the 1 dish? Wouldn't one eat them all and leave none for the others?

[mrzoggs]

yeah you can put a couple dishes in there for them. i forget green tree frogs are little pigs :P some people also feed theirs with tweezers. they have nice ones at the pet store. i dont suggest metal because frogs can lunge and hurt themselves.

Yeah, i have 3 and i may try putting 3 little dishes inside my vivarium for them. Does it need to be big so they can sit in it or do they sit around the rim and eat them???

I might just put 1 big one in there... im not sure.

i dont think the size of the bowl matters. with my red eyes they just eat til they are full and leave the rest...the only problem with that is sometimes i put too many in there and i think they see so many that they are scared to jump in. i would try a few small bowls with 2-3 each in there. not postivie on how many greens should be eating a night. im having a problem with my new female being really fat. i dont know if she has eggs in her, is overweight, or is sick. shes a fatty. when shes on the bottom hunting, her stomach is buldging on the ground and out the sides inbetween her legs. im gonna have to get her checked out to make sure shes just fat and not sick lol. i wouldnt mind eggs except i dont have a healthy male. i have a male whos ready BUT he has hookworms

Bumber, hopefully your male gets well soon

Whites can be aggressive eaters and i don't have that much room to fit many bowls. Mine are only 4 months and are eating 2-3 medium sized crickets a night. Im going to cut it down to 1 cricket and 1 roach so they have a variety.

This may be a random question, but is olive oil safe for frogs. I have wood roaches and they can climb out of glass bowls and i put some olive oil around the rim and they can't get out. My only problem is, is that im not sure if its safe.
Any suggestions?

I am currently using tweezers to feed them.

[mrzoggs]

hmm good question. im sure there might be something thats a little safer. maybe try a bigger bowl for the roaches? just curious, do you have your own roach culture or do you buy them? i want to culture roaches so bad...but they are a bit pricier than crickets lol.

I have my own colony thats been going for around...3 weeks. On week 2, i pulled away the FIRST, egg carton and there were babies!!! Heaps of them. I dont touch the ones at the bottom because its hard to get to and i need to buy another box but im sure that i have heaps more. i bought 600 adult sized/medium wood roaches and they are great! Better to get ones that can't climb otherwise you will have the same problem like me

Ive been experimenting with ways to spot the roaches from climbing and olive oil seams to be the most natural and safe way. They can climb glass and I've tried but ill keep you guys posted.

Sorry for going a bit out of subject breedlebee

That's what I do! I just put a plain glass cereal bowl in there and keep an eye on who's eating and who isn't. Granted, once my bigger guy is done pigging out, I kind of shoo him out of the way so my slower bugger can have a go.

As far as the size, I would say big enough so the crickets won't readily jump out even with the loss of traction. Trial and error

Pyrex bowls work well.
Yes, add the crickets and hang out to watch.
You want to keep an eye on their feed behaviors, making sure one frog is not eating all the feeders.
Make time, often, to observe things.
I would suggest the pyrex 1.75 quart for Whites (or similar......clear glass)It will not tip!

This is when a 'schedule' will help you, and the frogs.
My red eyes really get very use to the lights 'on/off' .
Their eyes open w/in minutes after the lights go out, then they shed, then they come down to eat.
It's like clock work!
